Yay, price drops :D

Will the next leap in video cards still occur at the end of this year? Is the price-drop a response to that?

the next generation GTX 300 with dx11 is expected to come at the end of this year. However, the price cuts are probably in response to the new AMD cards coming out such as the 4870, and the bad economy.

Damnit, I just bought one three weeks ago. Whatever I only payed 195 for mine.

OCUK have an EVGA one going to around £160.

Multiple 260's are already 164.99 on newegg.

I have been waiting for them to get under $200 for a core 216 to partner with my current one, but the timing is horrible, one of these is coming in on Monday at a local gun shop. AR-15's are in such demand ever since Obama got elected that the wait for them once a licensed dealer has ordered one can be up to a year and since left handed rifles are even harder to come by I think I am just going to have to put my $ towards that instead.

That looks more at home on the battle field than in someones living room.clyde46

My gun safe is in the basement not the living room.

yea but this should be the last price drop on the GTX 260's for a very long time:P

Well at least until the GTX 275 arrives.

Seriously? Man ****! I just ordered another 250 to go with the one I have now.

Well, Nvidia does justify the large price tags on their video cards a bit by making the card more sufficient. (i.e better cooler)

when will the gtx 295 price go down and by how much approximately? when will the GTX 275 arrive? thanks

[QUOTE="darkmagician06"]maybe they will learn not to make their stuff so expensive in the future...thats why i run a HD4850darkmagician06

Only partly justifies it, heh. Yes, my HD 4850 is one of those with 3rd party cooling, but it is not as quiet and cool as Nvidia's. I get lower 40's idle, sure, but at load it climbs up to 75C, and by then, it's as loud as an air conditioner's fan.
